However, immediately after the ceremony came the embarrassment — the mayor of Lincoln did not wait for outside and relieve themselves directly in the room.

In fact, all this action started in the town not just. City Manager Joe Gontero came up with the idea to raise money for a Playground for students.

For a modest fee of $5 children of the town may nominate candidates for mayors of their animals. Goat Lincoln won with a significant margin.

In the end, the election helped to raise the necessary funds to the Playground.

The owner of Lincoln, teacher Chris Stanton, said that they plan to hold mayoral elections every year: how to raise funds for various needs of the city and to teach children to participate in public life.
